If the Lagna represents the 'Self', the Seventh House directly opposite it represents 'Others'. This house determines the life partner, business partners, and the relationships we maintain with society. It is primarily known as 'Kalatra Sthana' (Spouse) and 'Kama Sthana' (Desire). As a Kendra House (Cardinal), it holds immense significance in a horoscope.

Classification of Primary Significations

The Seventh House mirrors our personal and social relationships. Let's examine its significations across four main categories:

Category	Significations and Description
1. Marriage & Relationships	Life Partner: Appearance, traits, and family background of the spouse. Matrimony: Marital bliss, sexual compatibility, and the timing of marriage. Desire: Personal desires, attraction, and love marriages.
2. Business & Partnership	Business: Partnership ventures, trade, contracts, and legal agreements. Profession: Own business ventures or self-employment.
3. Foreign Lands & Travels	Foreign Residence: Living abroad, long-distance travels, and obstacles faced during travel. Relocation: Leaving one's birthplace to settle in a different location.
4. Society & Law	Public Image: Reputation in society and interactions with the general public. Legal Matters: Court cases (especially civil litigation) and open enemies.

The Seventh House also provides interesting insights into the native's family members:

Second Child: The 5th house represents the first child. The 3rd from the 5th (3rd from 5th) is the 7th house. Thus, it represents the second child.
Third Sibling: The 3rd house is the first younger sibling. The 5th is the second. The 7th represents the third (following the odd number sequence).
Comfort/Vehicle for Mother: The 4th house is the mother's house. The 4th from the 4th (4th from 4th) is the 7th house. Therefore, mother's vehicles or comforts are seen here.
Attainment of Position (Padavi Prapti): The 10th house is the house of power. The 10th from the 10th (10th from 10th) is the 7th house. It indicates political positions or public popularity.

Maraka Sthana (The Killer House) - A Warning

Important Note: The 8th house from the Lagna is the house of longevity. The 12th house (Expenditure) from the 8th house is the Seventh House ($8 + 12 - 1 = 7$). Since it is the house that "spends" or exhausts longevity, the 7th house is defined as a 'Maraka Sthana' (Killer House). This house must be analyzed with great care during severe health crises or life-threatening periods.
